Abstract: A skate and skate brake which allows a user to brake the skate smoothly and evenly without catching on a ground surface utilizes a rotatable assembly having a resilient outer circumferential member attached to a relatively hard inner hub, the rotatable assembly brakes the skate by rotating with a rotational friction greater than that of the average rotational friction of the skate wheels. The rotational friction of the rotatable assembly is controlled by locating a non-rotating brake pad in physical contact with the inner hub. The amount of rotational friction can be increase by urging the brake pads against an annular portion of the inner hub and by positioning the brake pads within an interior recess inside the inner hub so that an increase in the downward force that the user applies to the brake increases the force by which the inner hub of the rotatable assembly is urged against the brake pads. A method for braking a skate includes the steps of pivoting the skate about a wheel, rotating a rotatable assembly in contact with a ground surface while applying friction to the rotation of the rotatable assembly by urging a non-rotating brake pad against a relatively hard interior surface of the rotating rotatable assembly.

Abstract: Système de contrôle de l'état des câbles de télécommunications à fibres optiques. Le système utilise une ou plusieurs fibres optiques du câble pour contrôler la structure de celui-ci et de détecter les éventuels dégâts ou coques. L'emploi de deux sources de laser séparées et le contrôle simultané des pertes optiques à deux longueurs d'onde distinctes et séparées permettent de déterminer la signature de perte de la fibre contrôlée, de l'analyser, et d'établir un rapport entre cette signature et l'état mécanique de la structure du câble. Afin de contrôler l'humidité des épissures, une unité à détecteur optique spécial détecte toute infiltration d'eau dans l'épissure et transmet un signal d'alarme codé à un récepteur optique, par l'intermédiaire de la fibre contrôlée. On attribue à chaque épissure un code unique de détecteur. Le détecteur optique est actionné par une pile de détection d'humidité formant une batterie actionnée par eau à une seule pile. L'eau qui s'infiltre dans l'épissure contrôlée mouille une bande et actionne la pile. La pile engendre une tension et un courant suffisants pour alimenter en énergie, pour une durée prolongée, des circuits de temporisation, de production de codes et de modulation situés dans l'unité à détecteur. Le circuit actionné commande un modulateur destiné à moduler la lumière parcourant la fibre. On contrôle la lumière modulée au niveau du local d'exploitation, et on décode l'adresse du détecteur émettant l'alarme.

Abstract: An improved lighting fixture is disclosed for imaging a high-intensity beam of light at a distant location. A specially-faceted (39) near-elliptical reflector (15) cooperates with a gate aperture (31) and a single aspheric lens to produce a beam that incorporates a very high proportion of emitted visible light, while the reflector has a dichroic coating that reflects only a low proportion of infrared light. The projected beam thereby has a relatively low energy density, such that the front portion (27) of the fixture can be reduced substantially in size and weight. The gate is selectively rotatable relative to the fixture's rear housing (17).

Abstract: A suspension of alumina gel obtained by dispersing alumina gel into pure water so that the concentration of alumina is in the range of 0.1-12 wt.% and an aqueous solution of metallic salt in which a compound of metal in VIA group and that of metal in VIII group are dissolved are mixed, and the resultant mixture is dried and hardened by evaporating the water while agitating the mixture, whereby these metal components can be supported effectively on the alumina gel up to a sufficiently high support quantity. This enables a high-performance catalyst composition constituting a catalyst the performance, such as activity, of which is superior to that of a hydrogen treated catalyst, and such as a conventional hydrodesulfurized molten catalysts to be obtained easily. When this catalyst composition is brought into contact with sulfur-containing hydrocarbon in the presence of hydrogen, hydrocarbons from which sulfur has been sufficiently removed can be obtained.

Abstract: On condense de la glycérine en présence d'un catalyseur alcalin à des températures de réaction comprises entre 200 et 275 °C. Puis on concentre la diglycérine par distillation. On mène la réaction jusqu'à obtenir une conversion partielle du mélange de réaction en 10 à 15 % en masse de diglycérine, puis on interrompt la réaction en refroidissant le mélange de réaction jusqu'à des températures inférieures à 200 °C. On distille le mélange de réaction pendant une première étape de distillation dans un vaporisateur à couche mince ou moléculaire sous une pression de 0,5 à 5 mbar et à une température de bas de colonne de 125 à 170 °C. Pendant une deuxième étape de distillation ultérieure, on distille le produit de bas de colonne de la première étape de distillation dans un vaporisateur moléculaire sous une pression de 0,05 à 0,3 mbar et à une température de bas de colonne de 140 à 170 °C. On obtient après cette deuxième étape de distillation un produit de bas de colonne avec une teneur en diglycérine supérieure à 90 % en masse. Ce procédé permet de préparer de la diglycérine à partir de la glycérine à des concentrations supérieures à 90 %, de manière économique et sans grandes pertes du matériau initial.

Abstract: The process of muscle-electric control for an artificial limb involves performing electrical-muscle proportional control on the limb, e.g an artificial arm, driven by an electric motor by measuring the voltage signal of each electrode and sending the measured signal to a controller. The controller performs proportional speed adjustment in which the rotation speed nominated value related to the measured electrode voltage is calculated according to the nominated value related to different rotation speed of drive motor. The rotation speed nominated value is compared with the measured rotation speed of the motor and the difference is sent as an adjustment difference value to the proportional integral adjuster (PI-adjuster). In the PI-adjuster, the adjustment deviation of the corresponding adjustment parameter is converted into a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) signal to control the drive motor such that the rotation speed of the drive motor is proportional to the electrode voltage. The actual current of drive motor is measured and compared with a pre-specified maximum value and the adjuster is turned off when the maximum value is exceeded.

Filed: 1995-05-12
Granted: 1999-07-28
Abstract: The method and apparatus for printing linerless media having an adhesive backing, such as a label strip, includes a platen roller rotatably mounted to a support frame for supporting and advancing the label strip and means, such as a stripping roller, for stripping or separating the printed label strip from the platen roller. Thus, a label strip can be fed from a wound roll between the platen roller and an aligned print head such that predetermined indicia are imprinted thereon. Upon further rotation of the platen roller, the leading edge of the label strip engages the stripping roller which acts to release any appreciable adherence between the adhesive backing of the label strip and the platen roller, and such that the printed labels may extend from and be readily withdrawn from the printing apparatus.
